Have any quads here had a nerve transfer to regain some use of the arms and hands?

i am c456 and I am wondering if it can make me independent at all so I don't need to have someone do absolutely everything for me. I will inquire at the e-mail address that you provided...while you were there did you hear about or know about anyone with my level of injury undergoing the procedure?

I did not specifically hear anything about your injury level but did not ask.

I do anticipate being able to gain a significant additional functionality.

I think it would definitely be worth looking into.

What they are looking for is a "donor" nerve that is typically from the bicep.

If you have good bicep functionality then you would most likely be a good candidate.

I do not understand why more people do not take advantage of it.

To me it was a no brainer.

The functionality I am expecting to get back should make a big difference.
